This blog entry and ensuing thread is to gather ideas and tactics for the next Week of Truth project.

Where should we focus our energy next?

Please propose an event(s) or product to target, and let's try to work from the ground up this time. Then, I can present a united package from 911blogger.com users, to the coordinators of the Week of Truth.

How about lots more tactful 9/11 stickers, graffiti, & art going up, especially around college campuses. I really don’t see any. (I read that some Jewish-resistance types actually warned people about the Gestapo via graffiti in Nazi Germany. Since they risked their lives to do this, you can risk getting scolded for using a magic marker or some spraypaint before our own Gestapo is goosestepping here.)

Utilize FaxZero.com to send 2 free faxes per day over the internet. It’s extremely simple to use. One doesn’t even need to set up an account. Just go to their site, enter the recipient's fax number, your e-mail address, your message, a few clicks, done! (Send free faxes to news media, politicians, professors, etc.)

Firm, professional truth-squad style delivery and documentation of this book to every member of Congress and their local offices and the press would set the stage for something good to happen. Let's do it by the beginning of summer at the very latest. I like May or June as a month of pushing up "9-11 Contradictions" and getting Griffin on as many different media channels as possible. We can then use many of the copies to pursue a people pressure campaign on Congress and the media regarding their involvement in an ongoing treasonous cover-up

This can be done in a very exact way, especially with Congress, explaining for them that accessory in a cover-up of an act of war such as 9-11 is technically treason.

Additionally, calling out the internal contradictions of the hoax cover story written for us by the Zelikow Commission paid for by we the people's misused and abused money is the most powerful way to open up the space for the Congress and media to interrogate the state-sponsored conspiracy "theory." In addition to there being a clear breach of fiduciary responsibility for the Commission to submit "Zelikowtian" parallel universe scenarios as a "report" to the people on mass murder and terrorism, we must make the argument that upholding a cover-up of any type of this serious an event is treasonous on its face.
Additionally, I think we should do a week of focusing on buying the "Terror Timeline" and/or supporting Cooperative Research's online 9-11 timeline as a key tool in 9-11 research.

“Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehoods school. And the one man that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.” –Plato

My understanding is that every member of the House and Senate has received a copy of the book. We need to have people in every district and state writing to their Representatives and Senators asking them to read the book. Preferably these letters would summarize a couple of particularly compelling contradictions, and point out that the Jersey widows only got 27 answers to their 300 questions.

We need our federal legislators to understand the depth and breadth of the 9/11 skepticism in the land, and
get some of them thinking about these issues who have up to now given them no thought. Also, this initiative would enable isolated 9/11 skeptics living in thinly populated regions of the country to participate, and provide a
conversational gambit for them to discuss with their friends and relatives their concerns about 9/11, and their
legislators' responses.

(aka Northern CA 9/11 Truth Alliance) secured funding to purchase and ship 535 copies to all the members of the House and Senate.

I believe they've all been shipped and will let you know if that is not the case.

While it is quite true that many of the books will never get read, even by Congressional staff members, they will not be able to claim ignorance when confronted on the issue. They, and their staffs, have been put on notice, again. This fact will be quite handy when these same scoundrels are hemming and hawing as they try to retain their political status, but have no ground to stand on.

Finally, some staff members may actually open the book and begin to realize that there is a "rabbit hole." Imagine the turmoil that could create.

The truth shall set us free (some will have to open their minds first).

...all carrying the SAME EXACT sign. it would be too much too ignore, and easy to pick out those who are there to simply disrupt and disinfo. I like PatriotsQuestion911.com as a sign because its simple and non -judgmental, it provides a valid message all of us can agree with as well as provide a credible link for those new to 9/11 truth and the media that will (hopefully) cover it. Just a thought...

...a phenomenal idea. Even if the media outlet who is being protested refuses to cover the story out of embarrassment, the other networks won't be able to resist the bad publicity for a rival network, and by their own design we will force them to cover these issues.

I was very proud of that movement to promote the book by David Ray Griffin "Debunking 9/11 Debunking" on the Bill Moyer's Show Website. I thought it was a powerful stance and our efforts were heard loud and clear even though they ultimately ruled against us on the air.

I considered that a success. More efforts like this and we will get a breakthrough.

Our main goal is to get into the mainstream media and reach the critical mass or tipping point. Marching in the street is only effective if it gets media attention. With the internet we may be just as effective as if we were "out in the streets". I look forward to another opportunity like the Bill Moyer's one.

Celebrities seem successful at getting media attention when they make a stand. Unfortunately they take a hit as in the case of Charlie, Rosie, and Willie. Silence on Ventura and limited exposure for the others. We should be creative in efforts to reach out to certain celebrities with an online exposure. Rosie has a website with an "Ask Ro" feature for instance.

Another way to get media attention is through crazy & creative actions such as the Bill Maher Show example of non-violent direct action. The banner unfurled today on the San Francisco Bay bridge is another way that brought media attention for Tibet.

I think we've achieved the investigation process. The BBC find by 911Veritas and others was awesome, as was the film Loose Change and children as evident in the Jesse Ventura and Bo Deitl case as well as many similar personal experiences I've heard of. We will win an open debate in the mainstream media.

I think we've achieved the societal education process with the internet activities. Google Video Top Ten. http://www.TruthAction.org and the help of the brilliant and extremely effective truth squading work of http://www.WeAreChange.org !!!! This stuff can not be overstated, how awesome that is.

The Polls are showing we have a majority or enough people who are now questioning the official story and believe we have been lied to or are being deceived. The problem is those same polls show the same thing with the JFK piece. Everyone knows but nothing is being done.

So if the investigation period is done. The education period is succeeding. We now have to turn to the media exposure. That is the only thing we are lacking. And then ultimately that will force the Justice phase from our elected leaders hopefully!!! Then Peace as Daniel Sunjata says.

That is why the coordinated campaign on the Bill Moyer's show was so fun and effective. He and his staff had to choose to ignore us, but they got the message we exist. Bill Maher would have been nice. We could push for a "Special Comment" by Keith Olbermann (countdown@msnbc.com)? We can keep our eyes pealed for opportunities. Bill Donahue just made a film (info@bodyofwar.com). Air America would have been nice, but.. I don't hear enough from them. We could also target individual Congresspeople like Cynthia McKinney who made an impact by taking a stand. That would bring about attention if we could convince a Russ Feingold or someone to question these guys in public under oath!!! Damn. We just need that breaking point.

9/11 is the silent Elephant in the Room. Enough people know. Too few are speaking out. Everyone is waiting for it to become socially acceptable. The only way I see it going from the conspiracy files to the mainstream is through major attention grabbing events like the Bill Moyer's effort, Bill Maher effort, etc. We need creativity in actions and opportunities.

It's nice that people are participating on conference calls to get ideas. The WOT idea is good and can help focus the actions so people aren't just spread out all over the place. It's important to have different actions and in different areas. It would be good for 9/11 truth to post a list of ideas so that no single one can be targetted and people could choose what they were interested in.

I've heard from others that banners and radio are one of the best ways to actually reach the public in relatively urban areas.

They've said to look to see who will be on your favorite local radio show next week and figure out a way to work in a message about the WOT (buried in an answer to their topic), then call in (and don't mention WOT to any screener). Plan on trying a few different ones.

Banners can be easily made with a roll of newsprint and kids tempera paints. They've said to make about 5 banners with easy websites featured on them. Line the edges with packaging tape. Punch holes along the edges. Install them over the highways early during rush-hour with twist ties, and walk away. I've seen people get cheers when they did that, from the cars below. And by the time the banners come down, thousands have seen them.

"Stop war -- Stop lies -- wtc7.net"

or whatever. Anything will do that is short and combines any key issue, like war, with 9/11 and a website.

My advice: Forget the MSM (they ain't gonna change and report fairly on either the issues nor on mass protests, which they will ignore anyways - they are not on the side of truth). Besides, average people don't like to be around protests either, regardless of the issue and that is who we need on our side.

Let's get thousands of people out on the streets everywhere (big cities and small towns, and especially in your neighborhoods) , alone or small groups and create 9/11 Truth presence EVERYWHERE (as opposed to many in localized areas).

In this way, we are showing that we care, that we are not afraid and not going to be silent anymore. By being present, civil and friendly, and sharing what we know (DVDs and literature etc) we demonstrate that we are not kooks, but concerned citizens, performing a service and creating an environment free of fear and full of hope. That is change.

The people we most have to focus on is the 20 to 30% in the middle who get their info and opinions from the MSM. Just BE the media! Most folks no longer trust the MSM, nor the gov't and are willing to hear new, fresh opinions and info. We have the opportunity to speak to them one on one, without being filtered by the MSM.

Even those who don't stop, will see you, see me and others out there, and our signs, and realize that we are not what the MSM claims and not fringe. We show that we are not afraid to stand up to the thugs who try to wnat to control us - that we have the courage of our convictions, as well as facts and evidence on our side. Furthermore, you are setting others free from the prisons of thought that they live in.

From experience, i can tell you it works. People really appreciate it. The vast majority will thank you, honk their horns or give you a smile. Ignore the odd idiot you encounter and wish them a nice day. Optics are everything.

There is also a subliminal aspect to this. If everyone who questions 9/11 will wear a shirt, hat, or put a bumper sticker on their car, or have a 9/11 related message on their coffee cups or whatever, this will have a huge impact that breaks through conscious barriers.

and you'll see that we've been doing this on the 11th of every month for over a year now. It is an international campaign spread across the globe and onto three continents (time to get South America and Africa going...).

1. I think that anything that has an "ending date" is a bad idea...a week, a month, a day, a year. Its poor planning to establish when your efforts will come to an end.

2. Using the term "Bu In" is a poor choice of words because it leads to a simple "out" for someone...and its WAY TOO DEFINITIVE a step. A fence sitter can say: "Nope, I'm not buying it!" after seeing one thing that doesn't fit into their information data base. This is a very unwise choice...

3. Its a VERY good time to again reach out to the peace movements...most noteably because its simply IMPOSSIBLE for peace activists to NOT NOTICE that the protests regarding China got MAJOR play when the usual "peace movement's activities" go underreported. So, in this fashion,there is great harmony and brotherhood-sisterhood between the peace movements and the 9/11 Truth Movement. We are both being ignored by the corportae media...and that HAS to ebe for good and similar reasons.

4. Adding to this 9/11 PEACE PRESENCE approach, Whatever we do we ned to emphasize the "False-Flag-Attacks" aspects of the 9/11 attacks tying in all such attacks and events used to ramp up citizens to go to war when they inherently do not want to do this.

5. No matter what we all accomplish, in the end the only real tool that we have to make a change is to vote for better people using better voting systems. So, we are asking for people to understand something very powerful...we simply needto give them a way to do something with this knowledge. Leaving them hopeless and helpless is a real problem..so, at least ask folks to be better voters this year than last.

6. Finally, its the appropriate time to raise the awareness and use of CI...Civil Informationing in the streets and on the videos. Confrontations do not work well while "questioning" does...arguing with fools does not work well, but having good conversation with our neighbors does. I could go on and on and on.

Lets break the old paradigms and 60's protest models and allow our wonderful creative sides to have their ways in this new information world. I think that we have to "free" the peaceniks from their old cages...and our new ways and creative means can do this.

In wrapping it all up, its a wrong step to establish your own ending date, its a bad choice of the words "buy in", and its time to bring the peace movement into the new millenium's public activism tactics.

And its time for the 9/11 Truth Movement to get more congenial. We have the goods...lets get it out there and have some fun...

All of this will help launch the next wave of 9/11 truth Activism and effectiveness.

I totally agree that "Whatever we do we need to emphasize the "False-Flag-Attacks" aspects of the 9/11 attacks tying in all such attacks and events used to ramp up citizens to go to war when they inherently do not want to do this."

The CONSTITUTION is NOT going to "collapse" into pulverized dust no matter how much thermate/explosives or planes they throw at it

...has commented on the idea of a 9/11 truth PAC. Is it a bad idea? Does anyone see it as a powerful tool to have in our arsenal, like I do? I understand if it isn't exactly necessary for the week of truth. This was a forum to post ideas for the movement so I thought I would post it here. But does anyone else think it would be a good idea? I would get it going myself but unfortunately I am not an American and cannot. I would be willing to help anyone who wants to set it up. I sent the idea to David Ray Griffin and he said it was a great idea that should have been done years ago. He said he had sent it off to others in the movement and that they were going to get it started but since then nothing has come of it.

The last link is where you can find links to the IRS forms necessary to start the group. IMHO we need mass media coverage and this would be a very powerful way of raising money for that purpose from all of us. The ads could be decided on democratically, even what stations to run the ads on. I'm sorry to have brought this up it just seems to me a very powerful tool for our movement. If I am wrong and no one else thinks this is a good idea please let me know.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government." -The Declaration of Independence, 1776

Just something small, I have gotten into the habbit of saying, "Treason" when 9-11 comes up in ping pong games, and then using that as an in to a conversation. Same could be done @ sporting events too. Imagine a couple hundred people yelling treason at 9:11 in the second period of a playoff game.

"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." ---- Mark Twain

Another suggestion: If anyone has the ability to conduct "journalistic interventions" with politicians --current or former -- during the week, ask about Continuity of Government. First, familiarize yourself with the excellent material compiled by George Washington (and maybe have it on hand for reference).

A suggestion:

"Continuity of Government was initiated on 9/11. It declared the country under an indefinite state of emergency and suspended the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the role of Congress, giving the office of the President dictatorial powers over all branches of government. No one announced that COG was ever rescinded. Are we still living under COG? Do the American people have the right to know? Is this the reason Congress has abdicated their Constitutional mandate to impeach the President and Vice President for their numerous fully-documented crimes?"

I think it is important to raise this issue wherever we can. Radio call-in shows are another good venue.
